Hi ,

 

When is it right to restart the Lugols? I never asked the rad onc doc, but he said the radiation effects would hang around for 6 weeks.

Hi , good luck with your treatments and recovery! I had radiation in 2009. I can't speak to the iodine in this situation, although I am sure someone will. I do recommend you ask the same question to your radiation oncologist. I was advised to stop all supplements during the treatment period so as not to interfere with it, especially antioxidents. This is one time when you want the free radicals to do their job and kill the rapidly dividing cells, ie cancer. Again, be sure to put the same question to the oncologist.

Sending healing thoughts your way! V.
